Lakeside Police Chief Robert Gordanier and his daughter, the town clerk, were indicted on charges of embezzlement, theft and misconduct by a grand jury, according to the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office. The grand jury investigation began after a CBS Colorado report found Gordanier, who was also mayor of the small Jefferson County town, signed off on purchasing police vehicles from other jurisdictions and selling them to his daughter, Town Clerk Brenda Hamilton, for a fraction of their market value. Hamilton would then resell the vehicles for a considerable profit, according to CBS Colorado’s reporting and confirmed by a news release from the district attorney’s office Thursday. The town first purchased a black Dodge Charger at a law enforcement auction in March 2018 and sold it to Hamilton in July 2021 for $500 when the fair market value was $8,588, according to the district attorney’s office.
